Attracts Honey Bees for
Improved Crop Pollination. Bee-Scent
Attractant is a pheromone-based liquid formulation containing
attractants that can direct honey bees to treated blossoms for
improved crop pollination. Bee-Scent’s chemistry includes
pheromones which encourage the specific behavior of foraging in
honey bees. By attracting and concentrating bee foraging, pollen
transfer can be increased. Greater yields and improved quality
are the typical benefits of more thorough honey bee pollination.

Bee-Scent is completely non-toxic so it is exempt from state and
federal regulations. It is considered environmentally sound for
applicators, crops and honey bees alike.

Once applied, Bee-Scent will remain active for three to five
days under favorable weather conditions. It also can help “save”
a crop threatened by poor weather conditions which shorten the
time when bees can be actively foraging. Additionally, the
initial attractant will establish foraging patterns that
continue the
pollination process.

Orchard
Crops: Bee-Scent research on some
fruits demonstrated an improved fruit set and fruit
development. Monitoring tests show the number of foraging bees
increased 28-75 percent after Bee-Scent application. Pear set
increased as did apple set. Apples from plots where Bee-Scent
was applied have shown more seeds per apple,
more carpels with seeds, and a
higher percentage of apples with 4 or more seeds than plots
whereBee-Scent was not applied.
